RANDY Jackson survived some dangerous hellholes as a young musician. In his book “Body With Soul,” out next month, the “American Idol” judge recalls his Louisiana childhood, sneaking into roughneck bars at 15 to play bass. “There would be gunshots, knifings and all kinds of dangerous stuff going on,” he writes. “There’d be a guy in there . . . who’d brought his ambulance because he knew something was going to go down . . . a shooting, a stabbing, or someone breaking off a bottleneck and using it as a weapon. Whatever, this guy was there, ready to pick up the pieces.”
